The announcers on CSS mentioned several times that the speaker system on Kudzu Hill piping in batters' anthems, etc was chapping Tech's ass (my paraphrase). I'm proud of the Dawg Nation for supporting the guys and turning Sunday and Monday into a doube-dose of noogie-giving, wedgie-serving, ass-kicking Tech beatdown.

Do you think Tech fans ever feel like they've become college athletics' answer to the Washington Generals?

The alcohol policy is unchanged - Kudzu Hill admission is sold like any other ticket. It is fenced in about halfway up the hill (where the signs were).

Where the drinking, stereo, general good time took place was at the houses on private property on the other side of the fence. They have their own alcohol policy. :-)

What really got under Tech's skin was that their baseball staff was asked to tell the frat to tone it down for games in Atlanta, and they felt that we should have done the same. But that frat was on campus; these houses are not.

I (along with four buddies) lived in the brick house from 94-96 or so. Those were some of the best years of my life. The team stunk, but we still parked an old couch out there and set up a grill and keg for the big weekend games.

I thought one of the funnier moments (there were a lot) of the game was during the time right after Weaver got hit on his arm. The guys in the trees in left center with the bull horn must have accidentally pressed the "horn/buzzer" button while everyone was dead silent while Weaver was being attended to by the trainers.

Then, once the guys got the horn to shut off, they came over the speaker, while everyone was still quiet and said something like (paraphrase, I couldn't hear them perfectly), "Sorry guys, our bad". Absolute high comedy last night from everyone.

I was sitting behind the UGA dugout (5 rows behind knowshon actually) so I really couldn't hear what the green house people were saying via bull horn. The only thing we could decipher is when we would hear someone grab the bullhorn and during a quiet moment would just say, "Nerds".

We really could only barely hear what the crazy people in the trees in left center were saying and even then we couldn't figure out half the time what they were saying.

I was one of the ones out in the trees next to the guy with the bullhorn. Tech's center fielder kept looking back and motioning like he couldn't hear what we were saying with a big grin on his face( this with them being down by 12 runs) The cops/ncaa event staff came and told him to put the bullhorn away about 5 times but since we were not in the stadium they really couldn't do anything.

I must say thank you to all who enjoy my bullhorn antics coming from the green/brick houses.

The information that is readily available on the internet amazes me as does the "prototype nerds" who sat in front of me during the game.

I'd also like to thank the meat head coach in the GT bullpen for giving me more verbal ammunition than could ever be needed.

Lastly, there are a few more people I would like to thank:1) Luke for his E9 Sunday night and asking me prior to monday's game if I was still hanging out with his girlfriend2) Natty Light3) NERDS: for their love of Warcraft and Dungeons and Dragons4) Most importantly Diamond Dawgs!
